    Write Protection.

    Hello everyone,

    I am having a SanDisk Cruzer Blade 8 GB Pen Drive. It worked nicely for 2 years and then it suddenly shows the error message when I try to format the drive: The disk is Write Protected. I tries several ways:

    • Registry editor (StorageDevicePolicies)
    • Command Prompt
    • Different tools etc.
    I couldn't remove the write protection. Please help me on this topic.

    Regards,

    Anik.

    Every pen-drive i attach says it's write protected

    The disk is write-protected.Remove the write protection or use another disk
    <<-- This is the error message i get every time i want to paste something in my pen drive. I have tried using many pen-drives and still get the same error.

    Till now all i know is problem is not with the pen-drives.

    I need help so that i can use pen-drive normally.

    What i've done till now from various sources is :

    CommandPrompt -> Diskpart

    Services -> SysMain -> (was)Disabled -> (i changed it to)Automatic

    regedit -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies ->StorageDevicePolicies
    -> WriteProtec-> (0)

    ReadyBoost properties:

    The device is mounted read-only.This usually happens with write-protected devices/media or when BitLocker group policy settings prohibit write access to non-encrypted removable devices.

    (I have no idea what happens by that or if it was even neccesary)

    What should i do or undo ?

    Please suggest me something !!!
